Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Organization and Basis of Presentation | # 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation # Nature of Operations DNOW Inc. (“DNOW” or the “Company”) is a holding company headquartered in Houston, Texas that was incorporated in Delaware on November 22, 2013. We operate primarily under the DNOW brand along with several affiliated brands operating in local, regional or international markets that are tied to prior acquisitions. DNOW is a distributor of energy and industrial products through its 155 locations in the United States (“U.S.”), Canada and select international locations which are geographically positioned to serve the energy and industrial markets. Additionally, through the Company’s DigitalNOW® platform, customers can leverage technology across applications to solve a wide array of complex operational and product sourcing challenges to assist in maximizing their return on assets. The Company’s product and service offerings are consumed throughout the energy industry – from upstream drilling and completion, exploration and production, midstream transmission, gas and crude oil processing infrastructure development to downstream petroleum refining and petrochemicals – as well as in other industries, such as chemical processing, mining, water/wastewater, food and beverage, gas utilities and the evolution of energy transition markets inclusive of greenhouse gas reduction and emissions capture and storage, renewable fuels such as biofuels and renewable natural gas, wind, solar, production of hydrogen as a fuel to power equipment and select industrial markets. The energy and industrial distribution end markets we serve are inclusive of engineering and construction firms that perform capital and maintenance projects for their clients. DNOW also provides supply chain and materials management solutions to the same markets where the Company sells products. DNOW’s supplier network consists of thousands of vendors in approximately 30 countries. # Basis of Presentation The unaudited consolidated financial information included in this report has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and Article 10 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-X. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. Variable interest entities for which the Company is the primary beneficiary are fully consolidated with the equity held by the outside stockholders and their portion of net income (loss) reflected as noncontrolling interest in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The principles for interim financial information do not require the inclusion of all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature unless disclosed otherwise, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. # Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported and contingent amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. # Recently Issued Accounting Standards In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which requires more detailed information related to types of expenses in commonly presented captions in income statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2024-03 on its consolidated financial statements and its disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), which requires public companies to expand income tax disclosures. The ASU requires entities to disclose more detailed information in their effective tax rate reconciliation and their cash taxes paid both in the U.S., state and foreign jurisdictions. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2023-09 on its consolidated financial statements and its disclosures. # Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides all entities with a practical expedient for estimating expected credit losses on current trade receivables and contract assets under Topic 606. The practical expedient allows entities to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date remain unchanged for the remaining life of the asset. ASU 2025-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted this standard effective September 30, 2025. The adoption of this standard does not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. See Note 2 “Revenue” for additional information. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280), which requires enhanced segment disclosures primarily focusing on significant segment expense disclosures for both interim and annual periods. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Company adopted this standard using modified retrospective transition method. See Note 9 “Business Segments” for additional information.
